I remember when we were smaller watching this was like winning a trophy. Even if there is electricity we have to find a neighbor don't put on a generator to go watch it ,even sometimes we go as far as 3 streets away to go watch it

She's from Edo. Receive sense
The person trolling her knows she is from Edo. He used the almajiri name because she is from a Muslim family.

Is well. At that time, there was only black and white TV and only the few rich neighbors afforded it. We would peep through their windows to watch. Today we are not where we wanted, but God has been merciful that we haven't died in poverty. There's hope for the living. Some of us went through the tortures and cruelties of life. Nobody will ever understand our stories. But God is watching
At times, I feel like giving up and asking God who o offended to have made life this hard, while others live in affluence, others wallow in penury


Colour tv was available then too.

Another banger. When you have a liar as your role model you will become a pathological liar like him.

That was how my brother said he have only one shoe, one wrist watch, one pant, one boxer shot, one shirt , I was just laughing because the cars in his compound alone is more than the cars in Dangote compound, his nansion interior are gold plated designed yet he had one shoe.

Aisha pls we have heard you but sorry too late, come back with your moonlight story 2031.
